The concept of stress has been under the scrutiny of researchers from the 1950s. It continues to remain so by stimulating interest in different disciplines including health psychology, organizational psychology, biological psychology and relatively newer disciplines such as psychoneuroimmunology. In order to delve into the concept of academic stress, it becomes imperative first to understand how stress is defined as a construct and its consequences on an individual. Studies identify stress as characteristics of a situation (for example, job interviews are seen as stressful situations), while others throw light on how it should be viewed as a response to a situation; a subjective experience associated with different feelings such as worry and tension. Stress is now seen as a lifestyle crisis and affects any and every individual regardless of the stage of life they are in. The adolescent life stage becomes a crucial period that makes them highly vulnerable to the various stressors in the environment. It is a universally recognized life stage where there is a transformation from child to adult. It is an important stage of change and development and the body goes through various physical and biological changes. The transition is not limited to just the bodily changes and social role, but even at the institutional setting, the change from high school to higher secondary level requires a lot of adjustment and change. Multiple related and inter-related stressors make this process of transition highly stressful for the adolescent. Martin and Marsh introduced the idea of academic buoyancy. It is the ability of an individual to manage academic challenges and other challenges of schooling. Academic buoyancy comprises 5Cs- namely confidence, coordination, commitment, composure and control. These are the five aspects of academic buoyancy which are significant motivational predictors. Academic buoyancy is very important for success in academics because it gives them the capacity to meet challenges and impediments in the education system. This paper has reviewed the related studies to understand the significant role of Academic buoyancy on stress among adolescents.
